I'm not sure if this is the correct thread, because it could be a space, strings, or amp issue. So, here's the thing. I own a Sire V10 fretless (4 string), I use LaBella Deep Talking 49-109 flatwound strings and I plug it through an Ampeg RB-112 amp. What I notice is some inconsistencies...

Hello guys. I have a Marcus Miller V10 fretless bass for which I recently bought some black nylon strings from Rotosound. After I just slightly widened the nut slot for the G string, I noticed some ringing from that same string to almost any part of that string, throughout the neck. I don't see...

Hello. Real quick question here. How can I accomplish a sound like that of the bass in the song below? I think it might be recorded on a synth keyboard. Do I need to use any synth pedal in particular or any other effect pedal? Most I've listened to, create quite different sounds from what's here.

Good afternoon. I have recently bought a Red Witch Violet Analog Delay. After I played a little with it, I found that when engaged, it distorts the sound of my bass, both the original signal and the repetitions. This case gets even worse when I change my bass' pickups from single coil to...

Hello to the t-bers once more. I come with a question that recently came to my mind. I own a Schecter Hellraiser bass. I have to admit it is very well playable, it is set-up correctly and it has not caused any problem in terms of playability so far, that was not corrected immediately. However a...

Actually, as I have noticed, this "overcompression" problem isn't active bass specific. So I guess it might be caused by my cheap amp. But can anyone give any more insight into this?

I also forgot to mention that this problem appears mainly on lower strings (i.e. a little bit on A, mostly on E and again a little bit on B)

Good evening, fellow t-bers. I received today the Little Bear BS-1 fuzz pedal. I plugged it in a Crate BT15 amp using a Schecter Hellraiser Extreme 5 bass (no other pedals in the chain) and I noticed that when I play a note, it sounds too compressed at first, giving the full spectrum of sound...

But even if the change of the amp eq was about getting a good sound for the room or stage I'm in, wouldn't adjusting my bass's eq do the same thing?

Hello guys. I'm bringing up a topic that is related to all three of the above, but since it's mostly a sound-forming issue, I post it in amps section. Well, the question is the following: I have seen many bass players who have an active pre-amp bass guitar, connected to a pedal including an...

Hello there I am a new to the effects splitting techniques, but while looking around the forum, I didn't find a solution or a question similar to my case. So my problem is as follows. I have this configuration: I use two Y cables, one plugged in to the input of each pedal and the output of the...

Hello fellow Tbassers. I own a Tech 21 VT Bass distortion pedal. However I'm dissatisfied with the absence of a blend control. Does anybody know the cost of such a modification, if I take it to a technician and he adds a blend knob? I'd prefer an answer in euros if possible. I'm from Greece...

As far as I am concerned, the 3 band EQs are treble-mid-bass. Now, regarding the pickups that would fit, I have the EMG 40TW (35TW for your 4 string bass) on my bass. They have the soapbar shape and size and they are single coil and dual coil at the same time (push for dual coil, pull for single...

Thank you so much, for both the number (my first one in tbass :P) and the kind words. It is a jewel, indeed.
